My top 3 current writing goals:
Increase platform with an updated website and giveaway to capture email addresses
Indie publish my inspirational book about moving from brokenness to hope
Finish the first draft of my next book

Wow, I am so impressed with your mission as well! There is so much room for inspiration in this world– we need it. Let’s be in touch about platform building. I can teach an online class about platform building if you have a group that is interested. Great stuff! xoxo, Kathryn

1) Find financial freedom through helping others make meaningful connections with themselves, others and work that heals our most pressing problems with my writing
2) Become the go-to coach and lived-experience expert for Autism Spectrum Disorder in women
3) Research, write and develop a training curriculum to strengthen communities’ abilities to respond to mental-health emergencies as well as humanely integrate people with lived experience of mental-health concerns into their places of residence.

My top three goals are:
1- Finish writing my book about how to prevent and stop the chronic pain in the human body regardless of your age.
2- Create e-books and videos to coach people on individualized topics in the chronic pain area.
3- Create a guidebook to prepare younger people for old age. The goal is the book and videos will help reduce the cost of old age by teaching people what not to do as a young person that will create disease and injuries later.

Howard- I love what you are up to! I have another client that is publishing a book in a similar vein (she is a PT). Your angle on embracing aging is different and will be enticing to the middle-aged folks out there for sure! Keep up the great work and please be in touch. It is a pleasure to have such helpful people like you in my community. xoxo, Kathryn

Rod- Of course as one of my students, I KNOW you are on a roll and will do fabulously with your goals! Thank you for entering the content and publicly stating your goals– just this process of stating your goals goes a long way in making them happen! 🙂

My top three writing goals are:
1. Establish a brand through my blog at http://www.FrancesOThomas.com

1- complete the sequel book to Seven Tips to Make the most of the Camino de Santiago.
2- figure out a plan to revitalize sales on Seven Tips to make the Most of the Camino de Santiago.

Start writing a novel both fiction and non-fiction that brings out the creative writing in me
Want to build a niche audience to boost the sales
Ofcourse want the financial freedom that writing a book and getting it published .

Awesome Vervin, I would just emphasize the importance of focusing on ONE book at a time (I know it is hard!). Fiction and nonfiction are very different, but that doesn’t mean that authors can’t leverage across the two genres.Good luck and be in touch! 🙂

1) complete changes recommended by an editor to complete my first book.
2) begin blogging about how we choose to show up for our most significant others and capture emails for those interested.
3) begin the marketing process for first book, “The Rightness Syndrome: How Our Need to be Right Sabotages Relationships”

Great goals Duke, and the blog can be a great platform building tool (and you can use opt-ins to build your list). I think your topic (relationships) is extremely important. I am excited about all the great writers that have important messages for the world in this community. Thank you! 🙂

Wow, you are cruising right along Joan- great job! Social media is something to think about over the long term (and beware of expensive services to help you on this front). I have been thinking about doing a free training on social media if we could pull together a group. Let me know if there are those out that that would like to organize– and I’d do the training. Remember to have fun, too! 🙂

1. Finish a book I am writing about life inside a prison for a guards perspective.
2. Write at least one blog post a month on my IT free training web site.
3. Get my ebook on how to get an IT job without training or experience published.

Robert- Awesome and THANK YOU for publicly stating your goals– it goes such a long way to making them closer to reality. Your work sounds incredibly interesting and niched down so that you should be able to identify and reach your target audience. The blog is a great idea– make sure to tie into social media to get the most traction. Kudos! 🙂 Kathryn

My three writing goals:
1) wake up, breath work, ground, meditate and write from the soul.
2) Finish ebook and big book and send to editor.
3) Have gratitude and compassion each day for the words that flow with divine guidance.

Yay -and great to hear from you Deborah! You continue to exude love and light in all that you do. I am so excited to be in the loop about your writing journey (and your beautiful life journey). I am also trying to uplevel my meditation practice as I find that this is a key tool that allows us all to live our fullest lives. Keep up the great work. xoxo, Kathryn
